Automatic-Infusing Mugs

The Time Your Tea Thermos Steeps Your Beverage to Perfection

— February 14, 2012 — Art & Design
You may choose to leave a weak teabag in your teacup for the duration of your drink, but many herbal infusions can become too strong if they're steeped too long. In comes the invention of the Time Your Tea Thermos that takes care of your beverage's flavor with next to no effort on your part.

Eddie Gandelman's engineering is in the lid of this travel mug, integrating a rotary timer and simple crank system. All you've got to do is clip your tea bag to the end of the chain inside, fill the canteen with boiled water, snap on the cap and turn the dial to set the brewing time. Once the prescribed period has elapsed the Time Your Tea Thermos will draw your infusion up and out of the liquid.
